I think that would be the best part! With 248 characters, that's a pretty wide range for 'mid' characters to slip into the late-game. Popular characters who have haters, like Lightning, will die immediately. Legit hated characters like Palom will also die immediately. Then even popular characters without haters, like Vivi, will get picked off simply because they're popular... and that's where the fun begins! What crazy, forgettable nonsense is going to reach the end? I'm excited to find out.

I think one kill per day, plus one long round, would be the most interesting. It would allow a decent amount of strategizing, even early on. Do I waste my daily kill on a character a lot of people hate, or do I prioritize someone only I hate and hope the other character gets taken out by someone else? If the round went too fast, it'd be over too quickly for any of that. And, if there were multiple rounds, it would also start blurring together a bit. I don't want to have to kill Jecht fifty times.

Very well said (except for the part about Jecht, he's amazing). The fun of a Kill My is having no idea which mid character is going to somehow come out on top. The 1-round, winner-takes-all aspect of it also adds to the intrigue. And as Roba mentioned, by adding a 24-hour buffer between votes, it will actually give time for strategy, discussion, and just the chance to enjoy the contest for the week or so that it'll last.

Personally, I would vote against upping the kill count at certain thresholds. I don't know. I just like the purity of the classic Kill My where every vote someone casts kills a character. It would also make the 24 hour rule a little too long and tedious. I think if we were to go the route of upping the kill count at certain stages, we would likely have to have it as 1 vote per hour, and separate it into different rounds that end when a certain kill cap is reached. Or just bite the bullet and have one continuous round that ends in a day or two.
